Engadget Logo Extra SIM slot abolition in part of the Japanese version of the Japanese version of the iPhone 14 (provisional)?Rumors that Apple is preparing

By : ilikephone / On : 13/09/2022

It has been rumored that the 2023 iPhone 15 Pro (provisional) model will run out of physical SIM card slots (in some countries and regions).However, on the contrary, it was reported that there could be a model that would not be the iPhone 14 (provisional) generation in 2022.

According to Macrumors anonymous sources, Apple advised the US main carrier to prepare for the release of a smartphone only (not equipped with a physical SIM card slot) by September 2022.The information provider showed me a real -like document explaining the time schedule, but there was no particular mention of Apple or iPhone.

Although it is a fairly ambiguous expression, it may have been blurred, such as "A notice from a major manufacturer to prepare an ESIM slot -only smartphone".

As of December 2021, the iPhone 13, which is sold at the Apple store or online store, does not have a nano SIM card.The purchaser can turn on the iPhone and connect to the Wi-Fi network, and follow the instructions displayed on the screen to activate the ESIM of the carrier selected by each.On the other hand, it is also possible to procure and insert a physical SIM card separately.

Considering the deadline for "September 2022" in Macrumors information, the iPhone's physical SIM card slot without the previously rumored iPhone 15th generation may be after some of the iPhone 14 models.It's cool.Anyway, there is no more definitive clue at the moment.

The iPhone 13, which is already sold in Japan and North America, is compatible with dual ESIM, and can also use DSDS (dual SIM/dual standby) between ESIMs.Although there is a physical SIM slot, the triple SIM is not possible, and it is either two ESIMs or one Nano SIM + ESIM.If you are in a country or region where ESIM is well widespread, it seems that abolishing physical SIM slots will not hinder.

Dylandkt, who has a reputation for the prediction of the unpublished product unpublished products due to this rumor, has tweeted, "I agree with the expectation that" Apple will soon or sooner to remove SIM card trays ".。

Johnny Ive, who once, the highest design of Apple, concepts the iPhone a "one glass board."The abolition of the physical SIM card slot is the first step, and it is likely that the water -resistant performance will be improved by the elimination of the housing opening.Also, if you eliminate physical card slots, you can earn space inside the iPhone, making it easier to reduce weight and add new features.
